Default Motion paint on a vert.

Has anyone put a motion paint scheme on a convertable? Looking for examples please.

Photo is just an example of a non convertable.

A friend of mine has a 68 convertible that his father bought new, and repainted with a pseudo Motion stripe back around 70-71 (dark green with a gold stripe). Somewhere around I have some pictures of it, but it has a hardtop on it. I've known the car for 30 years and don't ever recall seeing it with the hardtop off. It does look good though.

Motion as in Baldwin Motion?
I didn't realize what it was called, I've always liked that style.

There's a couple of pics of a convertible with that paint scheme, and the top on, in this thread:

There's a show coming to Chicongo next month called MCACN. It is by far the best car show on the planet. It's here, https://www.mcacn.com/. They have rows and rows of L-88s and cars of this caliber. 500, 1000 point musclecars and memorabilia. It's a can't miss. This is from a few years ago. Baldwin/Motion invitational.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, especially on a 2 top car. The removable hardtop would easily carry that theme though.
Heres my roadster, can you visualize it
